Right Hand fingering (guitar) under the staff
hi all, is there a way to set the fingering for the Right Hand in a guitar part under the staff by default?
I tried text styles, but it does not seem to make any difference...
How can i write the D\b cordsymbol, please? I get D\ [flat]

For the chord symbol use forward slash / not backslash \
So write D/B . The backslash is ignored so gave you the flat symbol
For fingering you I think you need to place them manually or play with options in "Format-Style-Text Styles-RH Fingering"
For example if you set Y offset to about 7 the fingering will be about the bottom of the staff. (only applies to the fingering you notate after changing this setting).

thank you, but no; D\b is deliberate.
it is a D bass under a b(minor) chord

So it is a Bm/D, a B minor chord over a D bass

not really, but if you wish to believe so, you are right!

Set one to below staff via it's properties, than set that as the new style

Thanks I didn't know about this. Are you referring to the three little dots next to some items in properties? It works to change all the font properties of RH fingering in the score, but doesn't seem to change all the offsets. I'll need to test it to understand what it's doing.

yes, those 3 dots and then "Save as default style for this score"

thank you very much, i am learning everytime! i have not figured out how to "set that as the new style"
But aparently (some distant point in time, this has been a sibelius file) my fingerings have all turned to staff text; bummer...

I think that Jojo is definitely correct about this, whether he, or you, believes so or not. I cannot find any online references to suggest otherwise but plenty that support his assertion. For example:
https://classicalguitarshed.com/slash-chords-inversions-guitar/
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_chord
https://www.studybass.com/lessons/reading-music/slash-chords
https://appliedguitartheory.com/lessons/slash-chords-on-guitar/

So it might be a good idea to go with the convention, especially if you intend to share your scores.

The correct spelling is poe-knee.
I just found in Musescore 4.2 nightly an option to put RH fingering below the staff. So if you can wait till it's release (hopefully soon), or use the nightly version yourself, that part of your problem is solved.

thank you all very much, i will try as soon as i get to it.
@yonah; there is no such thing as a 1 convention.
The accordeon way, the flamenco way, the geman way, the norwegian way, the french way, figured bass, the jazz/blues/rock way, ... there is probably a ton more of them.

Well, you are talking of guitar. Personally, I've never seen published guitar scores with right-hand fingerings under the staff. They're always near the noteheads. And there's no French way, German way, or any other way.
Could you explain the reason for this choice? Especially as, in practical terms, it seems inconsistent, since whatever the position of the note (it can be notes far below the staff, like the open 6th string) as well as notes far above, and therefore fingerings either very far or very close. Which is a disservice to the interpreter.
Anyway, an explanation would help.

i am not sure if you mean the cords or the fingering. I meant chords, anyway.
"I've never seen published guitar scores with right-hand fingerings under the staff. They're always near the noteheads" ...well, there are tons of them. eg; Pavanes by Luis de Milán (Schott GA 604), Villa Lobos Solo guitar (Noad/Amsco)
Anyway, the fingering looks fine to me; LH above, RH below...

@aeLiXihr
You specifically said guitar. Can you link some sources which shows guitar slash chords being notated differently to the convention which I found to be common practise?
